Anti-Aging & Collagen Preservation

Maintaining youthful, healthy skin involves more than addressing visible wrinkles. It requires preserving the underlying structure that keeps skin firm, smooth, and resilient. Anti-aging and collagen preservation treatments focus on supporting the skin’s natural framework by stimulating collagen production, relaxing expression lines, and improving skin firmness over time.

Collagen Stimulation

Collagen-stimulation treatments work beneath the skin’s surface to rebuild and strengthen the skin’s supportive framework. These treatments boost the body’s natural collagen production, gradually improving skin texture, firmness, and overall quality while helping maintain youthful skin structure.

Sculptra® Aesthetic

Sculptra Aesthetic is a collagen-stimulating injectable that works gradually to restore facial structure and improve skin firmness. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra kickstarts the body’s production of new collagen over time. This gradual process helps improve skin texture, support facial contours, and create natural-looking rejuvenation that develops over several months.

Radiesse

Radiesse is an injectable treatment that provides both immediate structure and long-term collagen stimulation. The treatment uses calcium-based microspheres to support the skin and stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Over time, Radiesse helps improve skin firmness and smoothness while maintaining natural facial contours.

Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural repair response by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This process triggers collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin texture while strengthening the skin over time.

PRP (PRP for Hair Loss & Rejuvenation)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments use the body’s own growth factors to support tissue repair and collagen production. When used for skin rejuvenation, PRP improves skin texture and overall quality by stimulating cellular renewal. PRP is also commonly used for hair restoration treatments to help stimulate hair follicles and support healthier hair growth.

Sofwave™

Sofwave is an advanced ultrasound-based treatment designed to stimulate collagen production within the skin. By delivering controlled ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis, Sofwave helps improve skin firmness and elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment is commonly used to support skin tightening and maintain youthful skin structure without surgery.

ellacor

Ellacor is a minimally invasive skin treatment that improves skin laxity by removing tiny portions of excess skin using advanced micro-coring technology. By reducing loose skin and stimulating collagen production, ellacor helps restore smoother, firmer skin while maintaining natural skin integrity. The treatment is often used to address moderate skin laxity in the lower face.

Reviews

“I had a recent visit to Dr Damstetter’s clinic and would like to share my experience. I am a Navy vet(corpsman) and usually get seen at the VA but since we don’t have a Derm provider right now, I was fortunately sent out to her clinic to be evaluated. It’s a nice clinic in a nice area and was relatively easy to find. A pleasant Ms. Nancy at the front desk was helpful in completing the check-in process. Easy day. I did not have to wait long and was soon met by Dr. Damstetter’s assistant, who for classified reasons I will refer to as “Agent 8”. I am sure if she gets tired of providing excellent medical care, her slick-ninja skillset could get her a job with the CIA or MI6 maybe. Short story long, Agent 8 brought me back to the patient area, where I was introduced to Dr Damstetter, who was all the things you would want in a doctor: a knowledgeable provider with a great bedside manner. She gave me a thorough exam which did end up showing that I needed a minor procedure. No worries. I felt well taken care of throughout my visit. No one likes to have to see the doctor, but if you have a dermatological concern, this is a good place with good people who did great by me, and I am thankful to have been sent here.”

“Dr. Liz is truly the best dermatologist I’ve ever been to. She is attentive, kind, and genuinely cares about her patients and their overall skin health. I can not recommend her enough!!!”

“Wonderful experience here! The doctor took the time to educate me on a variety of cosmetic options and gave her candid opinion resulting in just the right amount of cosmetic adjustments! Her staff was delightful and attentive! I would highly recommend for general derm needs and cosmetic adjustments.”

“Dr. Damstetter was the first dermatologist I trusted to do my Botox. She is both knowledgeable and professional and did a fantastic job. I will be using her for any and all of my future needs.”

Wrinkle Relaxation

Wrinkle relaxation treatments target dynamic lines that form from repeated facial movements over time. By temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, these treatments help smooth the skin while preventing wrinkles from becoming deeper or more permanent.

Botox® Cosmetic

Botox Cosmetic is one of the most widely used treatments for reducing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. By relaxing targeted muscles, Botox softens lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Regular treatments can also help prevent expression lines from becoming more pronounced over time.

Dysport®

Dysport is a neuromodulator that works similarly to Botox by relaxing specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines. It is often used to treat frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and other dynamic lines caused by repeated facial movement. Dysport helps maintain smoother skin while preserving natural facial expressions.

Xeomin®

Xeomin is a highly purified neuromodulator used to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. By temporarily limiting muscle contractions in targeted areas, Xeomin helps soften expression lines and prevent them from deepening over time. Many patients choose Xeomin as part of a long-term anti-aging treatment to maintain smoother skin.

Skin Tightening & Laxity Treatment

Skin tightening treatments focus on improving firmness and elasticity in areas where skin has begun to lose elasticity with age. These advanced technologies stimulate collagen production and remodel the skin’s structure to restore a tighter appearance without surgery.

Sofwave™

Sofwave is commonly used to treat mild to moderate skin laxity in areas such as the brow, jawline, and neck. By stimulating collagen production with focused ultrasound energy, Sofwave helps strengthen the skin’s supportive structure and improve overall firmness. The treatment offers gradual improvements in skin tightening while maintaining natural facial movement.

ellacor

Ellacor offers a minimally invasive approach to treating skin laxity by removing microscopic cores of excess skin. This innovative technology improves skin tightness and texture and stimulates collagen production during the healing process. Ellacor is particularly effective for addressing moderate laxity in the lower face and around the mouth.

Alma Hybrid Laser

The Alma Hybrid Laser combines ablative and non-ablative laser technology to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality. By stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin simultaneously, this treatment helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, and address signs of aging. The hybrid approach allows providers to customize treatments based on each patient’s skin condition and goals.
